IMPROVED MOULD FOR MAKING GLASS GOBLETS, GLASSES, 6to.

TO ALL PERSONS TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS MAY COME:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH MAGOUN, of `East Cambridge, in tire count)r of Middlesex, and State of Massachusetts, have invented an improved Mould for Making Glass Goblets, Wine-Glasses, orotller articles of` like character; and I do hereby declare the same to be fully described in thepfollowing specification, and represented in theaecompanying drawings, of which- Figure 1 is a top view,

Figure2 is a side elevation, and

Figure 3, a vertical and longitudinal section of such mould in a closed state.

Figure 4 is a top View of it as open and without the body-matrix, and

Figure 5 is a horizontal section taken through the stem-mould sections.'

Figure is an under side view of the operative annulus of the said stem-mould sections.

Figure 7 is a. top view, and p t l Figure 8 a side elevation of the lower plunger, and its supporting foot and raising plate, and the cams of the latter.

Figure 9 is an under side view, and

Figure l0 a transverse section of the cammcd chamber for receiving the said raising plate.

The main purpose of the mould is to so form a wineglass or other article of like character andtmaterial,

that thejoint-marks of the mould may lie at the edges and ends of the flutes or 4mouldi'ngs withontbeing in the plane part of the body.

In the drawings, A denotes the baseplate of the mould, such plate being circular in shape, and having atl its central part a foot-mould or matrix, B, such being a cylindrical or slightly conical hole extending within the plate and to an annular shoulder, a. A plunger, C, is employed with such matrix, and sopas to extend up` into it in manner as represented in iig. 3. 'lhis plunger projectsupward from a. circular plate or post, D, which t is so ixed to a raising or cammed annulus or plate, E, as to enable the latter to be revolved independently of the post D, the purpose of such application of the said parts being that the plunger may not be revolved while the cammed annulus is in the act of being revolved in order to depress the plunger or elevate Vthe mould i.

with respect to it. Were the plunger to revolve it would be liable to break or injuriously affect the glass while being moulded. The said raising plate has a series of inclined planes or cams, bbb, applied to and extending p t 1 up from its upper surface and into a cylindricall chamber, F, made in 'the base-plate. The said series of cams works against a series of counter-cams, c c e, extending from the top of the chamber F, the Whole being Vso that` whenA the cammed plate E may be in the act of being revolved in one direction by manual power applied/toa .l i

handle, d', the plunger will be elevated in the foot-mould or matrix and be depressed when the plate E may be -in the act'of being revolved in the other-direction. On the base-plate, and applied thereto, so as to be capable of being slid thereon in radial directions, is a series of' what I term stern-mould sections, G G G; 'When close` t together they form the matrix of the wine-glass stem and that part of the body of the `wine-glass which is lfigured or i'luted. l

Figure 11 is a side elevation of a wine-glass as formed by the mould, the part Il being cupshaped and afterwards opened out flat, so as to constitute the foot of the article. The said part H is what is made within` i and bythe matrix B, and by means of `it and the plunger C. rlhe stem-mould sections notonly form the stem I, but the exterior surface of the lower or iluted part cZ of the body K. The remaining portion e of the` said body is made by. the separate body-matrix L, and the edge-forming annulns M applied thereto, asi'epresented in the drawings. Each stem-mould section, instead of turning on a centre irjoint as in other moulds, slides inl a radial direction from a centre eoinllon'to the series, and between guides NNN fast-cned on the base-plate. 'lhe movements ofl the stem-mould sections are produced by a mechanism consisting of an annulus or ring, O, provided with a-handle, P, and a series of cams, Q Q, (see fig. 6.) These cams enter notches, R, made in the mould sections.' The cammed ring 0 revolves within and is supported by thc guides N N, its handle I being furnished with a hcle,f, to receive a pin, g. This pin also enters another holejor socket, i, made within a projection, a', extended from the base-plate and over a handle, S, projected therefrom, and serving to enable a i i .workman to hold the base=platewstcady or in one position. while hc may `apply power to either-ofthe other i i handles of the mould, for the purpose of operating'the part or parts to which such may belong. The joint of .the mould-sections G G G and the body-matrix L is along the upper termini of the tintes of the body, and the touching surfaces of such joint should be corrugated or formed so as to enable each 'of the sections Gto be moved while the body-matrixis stationary in position. nThe corrugations of the surfaces of the joint are shown' at Ic and Z, in figs. 1 and 12, the latter iigure being an under side view of the bodymatrix.

Figure 13 is a side view ofsuch body-matrix with its cams, handle :6, finger y, the said finger, when the body-matrix is in place, going within a notched projection, z, raised on the platform U. The nger and notched projection serve to determine the proper position of` the body-matrix. The body-matrix L rests directly upon the stem-mould sections," and is forced down thereupon by means of a ring, T, and certain inclined cams, m m 711. The said ring T has a handle, 12, extending from its periphery. It also has a series of projections, o o o, on its inner periphery, and another series of projections, pp p, extended `from itseircumference, the whole being as shown in Figure 14, which is a top View of such ring and its adjunets, as described. The said ring restson a stationary platform U supported on the mould-section guides, the projections ppp, while the ring is'being revolved, being made toenter notched posts q g g raised on the platform U. While the ring may be in the act of being turned around horizontally, and its projections ppp are in the notched posts, its projections o o o will lrido on the camsm mm, and by so riding on them will force the body-mould down closely upon the stem-monld sections. t On turning the ring T backward, the body-matrix will be relieved from downward pressure-so as to enable the mould-sections G G G to be moved laterally away from the vertical axis of the mould. The part or edge-forming annulus M rests on the body-matrix, and has a hole made in it for the reception of the upper" plunger B', by which the glass is forced into the mould andthe cavity of the body of the wine-glass is formed. Instead of arranging'the clamp or annulus T on the platform U, and so as to clamp and hold thebody-matrix only, the posts q may be elongated, and the said a'n'ulus may be placed on top of the edgeforming annulns M, and have the projections p made inclined on their upper edges, in which case the cammed annulus and posts may be used to hold down both the capM and the body-matrix. I mention this as one of the modes in which I have contemplated the application of means for holding the bodyimatrix or the same and the cap M in place when the mould may be in use. Y

The mode of operating this mould will be readily understood by glass manufacturers andvothers skilled in the art of making glass-ware.

Fronrthe above, it will be observed that the matrix for forming the foot H, as well as that for Vforming the maintor plain portion a of the body K, ofthe wine-glass, has no verticaljoints to make seams in the'glass when moulded.l In other words, cach matrix for forming each of such parts is entirely cylindrical, and iscombined witha stem-mould made in sections, each of which is supported so as to be capable of being raised rectilinearly in radial directions from an axis common to all of' them. The sections do not open apart in curves as they would werethey jointed together in the ordinary way. This enables their joints to be arranged at the angles and termini of the flutes or in other parts where the seams made by them in the glass will be arranged to the best advantage for not being readily visible.

What I' claim as my invention in the said mould, is as follows:

1. I claim the combination of the separate body-matrix L, (in one piece, as described,) and its holding meehanism, or the equivalent thereof, with the series of stem-mould sections G G G arranged together and applied to their supporting frame so as to be movable in radialdirections, as specified. v l V 2. I also claim the combination and arrangement of the foot-mould or matrix B with the separate body-matrix L, (in one piece, as described,) and the stem-mould sections G GG arranged so as to be movable in radial directions, as specified. l

3. I also claim the foot-mo'uldior matrix B as made in one piece without any vertical joint, when arranged and combined with a series of stem-mould sections G to open apart over the said foot-mould, as specied.

4. I also claim thekcombination for holding the body-matrix L downto the mould-sections directly underneath it, such combination consisting of the annular clamp T and its projections op, 4the stationary recessed posts q,

and the cams m, such posts being supported by the platform U, and the cams being applied to the body-matrix, as specified. j

5.` I also claim the combination and arrangement of the eammed annulus O with the mould-frame, the series of stemmed sections G G, the bodymatrix L, and its holding mechanism, substantially asdescribed.-

6.j I also claim the. combination of the 4lower plunger C and its supporting foot D with the raising plate or deviceE, so as to render the latter capable of being revolved independently of the said plunger and foot, as explained. Y

7. I also claim the combination of the edge-forming annulus or cap M with the bodyfmatrix L and its holding mechanism, whether the latter be applied directly to the matrix or to the said annulus placed o n the said matrix.

8. I also claim the combination of the iingery and notched projection e, with the mould-frame, and the bodymatrix L, when the latter is combined and arranged with a series of stem-mould sections, G G G, to operate or move in radial directions, as described.
